    I had my truck aligned at my local pep boys but my front tires (265/70/16)are wearing out from outside. The steering doesnt seem to be wondering. my front tires do look / on the 2.5 bilstein. Any help would be appreciated....

    Have it realigned somewhere else and you might need UCA's having them set at 2.5

    Get UCAs and go to better shop for alignment.

    Bilstein said at 2.5, it doesn't affect any stock geometry of the suspension. But anything higher than 2.5 would....

    It won't for a little bit but then you will start getting alignment problems. Mmhmm sounds exactly like what's happening to you. Get the UCAs it it should clear it all up

    UCAs, like the guys above said. When you get over 2'' you start running into alignment issues. UCAs might sound like a pricey fix but it's still cheaper than screwing up a nice set of tires.

    Technically they say you dont need aftermarket UCA's with anything 2.5"s and below cause I know a bunch of people running that so I would get it aligned somewhere else and if it goes out of wack again then I would look into getting some. If it hasnt been a long time I would take it back and have them redo it.

    Too few to list.
    Someone just recently had this problem. The issue was the alignment and after getting it re-done somewhere else, their final specs was Camber at .4, Caster at 2 and Toe at 0.
